About this property

John's River Retreat

As you approach the property, you are greeted by lush greenery and the gentle sound of flowing water, setting the stage for a truly relaxing getaway.
With a spacious back outdoor area, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or unwinding with a book as you soak in the peaceful surroundings. A sprawling lawn stretches out before you, providing ample space for outdoor activities or simply basking in the beauty of nature.
The retreat offers three comfortably appointed bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated to create a peaceful and restful atmosphere. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious king-sized bed, while the two additional bedrooms feature a queen-sized bed in one, and a tri-bunk in the other, ensuring a good night's sleep for all guests. With two bathrooms, including one ensuite to the master bedroom, there is plenty of space for everyone to freshen up and unwind after a day of exploration.
One of the standout features of John's River Retreat is its pet-friendly policy, allowing you to bring your furry friends along to enjoy the vacation experience with you. The expansive outdoor space provides plenty of room for pets to roam and explore, while the river access allows for refreshing swims and leisurely strolls along the water's edge.
For those seeking privacy and seclusion, this property offers the perfect escape. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, you'll feel as though you've stepped into your own private oasis, surrounded by nature's beauty and serenity.

This property is managed on behalf of the owners by Bright Holidays (part of the Dickens Real Estate group)
